HKS is bringing its Tsukuba record-breaking TRB-01 Toyota 86 to Australia to tackle Eastern Creek at the 2018 World Time Attack Challenge.

Earlier this year, the HKS car lapped Tsukuba Circuit in Japan in less than 50 seconds (59.44), considered by some to be a new record despite controversy over its use of racing slicks rather than semi-slicks for the lap.

Under Suzuki still holds the record for a lap using semi-slicks, with a run of 50.1 seconds.

Similarly to its Tsukuba run, the HKS TRB-03 won’t be eligible to compete in any of the classes set up at WTAC, so it’ll be appearing as a show car to run laps and ‘compare’ with the Pro Cars.
